Characteristic immune cell interactions in livers of children with acute hepatitis revealed by spatial single-cell analysis identify a possible postacute sequel of COVID-19 Background A rise in paediatric cases of acute hepatitis of unknown origin (AHUO) was observed in 2022, some requiring liver transplantation.

A hidden strategy: How SARS-CoV-2 uses fibrinogen to evade the immune system As scientists, we often think we understand a virus—its structure, its tricks, the way it moves through the body. But every once in a while, we stumble upon something unexpected—something that complet...

“We found that #COVID has a sneaky way of escaping immune detection. It binds to a key protein involved in blood clotting with stronger affinity than antibodies. This interaction...may also contribute to the dangerous clotting issues seen in severe Covid-19 cases.”

Infectious SARS-CoV-2 found in hospital air The research of Nathalie Grandvaux's team, in collaboration with other researchers, sheds light on the scientific field of airborne transmission of the COVID-19 virus.

“Quebec scientists have succeeded in isolating infectious particles of the SARS-CoV-2 virus from air samples collected from hospital rooms of #COVID patients and kept frozen for more than a year, a new study shows.”

‘Something was wrong with my brain’: How COVID leaves its mark on cognition In March 2020, Hannah Davis fell ill, and everything changed. Her respiratory symptoms were mild, but the neurological and cognitive fallout was frightening.

Nasal Bacteria May Elevate COVID-19 Infection Risk A new study from researchers at the George Washington University has found that certain bacteria living in the nose may influence how likely someone

“A new study from researchers at the George Washington University has found that certain bacteria living in the nose may influence how likely someone is to get a #COVID infection.”

“‘Silent' #COVID infections—cases in which individuals carried the virus without symptoms and avoided testing or isolation—likely exacerbated the pandemic's early spread and distorted containment strategies, a novel QUT behavioral economics study has found.” archive.md/08TVW

COVID didn’t end. Its story just stopped being told. A new story, rooted in the way we live now, would necessitate the telling of present-day truths.

“One need only look to the US, and the gleeful destruction of life-saving global and domestic public health infrastructure, to see the fruits. As it turns out, making #publichealth a private responsibility may just have empowered the most abusive government in recent times to destroy it entirely.”

🚨 URGENT!! 🚨

Tomorrow, April 1, at 11am Central, House Democrats are holding a critically important hearing about the Trump administration’s attacks on Social Security. Want to find out whether you’ll still be getting your checks in 6 months? Or 3? Set a reminder to watch, and tell a friend.

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies.

The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits.

Maybe it's not the judges?

Mike Waltz has now decided to roll out the story that Jeffrey Goldberg somehow hacked his way into their Signal chat.

Just admitting a mistake and apologizing seems like a lot less work than lying and peddling a half dozen different conspiracies.

JUST IN: American Oversight is suing Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe et al, saying their messaging via Signal is a violation of the Federal Records Act.
